I set remote browse sync to the 'broadcast' address of the remote
network...

i.e. 
Network A 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 broadcast address is 192.168.0.255
Network B 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 broadcast address is 192.168.1.255

smb.conf on server on Network A
remote browse sync = 192.168.1.255

smb.conf on server on Network B
remote browse sync = 192.168.0.255

and lastly, clients are set to use wins server
Network A ip.address.of.server.A
Network B ip.address.of.server.B
and dhcpd of clients sets  'option netbios-node-type 8;' #broadcast

Make your changes, shutdown samba, delete wins.dat and restart samba
